Married life isn't all that it's cracked up to be. When Kansas married the love of her life right out of college, she thought she had everything. Five years into their marriage something changed inside Braxton. He was becoming shorter tempered, possessive and violent. She chalked it up to stress at work and the fact that they had been trying for a baby for six months, with no success. 

His temper gets worse as the months go by.  One night it becomes too much and she ends up in the hospital.  She finally decides that enough is enough and leaves.

Eight months later she's settled in a new state with a new start. She's working as a Paramedic and things are going good. While working a late shift she answers a call for domestic abuse. The call hits close to home, but she finds out the victim is a man named Archer and she feels an instant attraction towards him. 

Would being with someone who's gone through what she did make it easier for her to open up? Or will she keep the past in the past? What happens when she finds out her ex-husband is getting closer to finding her?All Rights Reserved

The unreachable mountain by Growened

"You're unbearable!" He kicks her with utter contempt. "Please tell me where I'm wrong, causing you discomfort was not my intention," she said crying, causing him to hit her against the ground again. "Do you think you can live with good intentions? Didn't you have all the time you wanted to change and learn? You still dare to ask for more!" He yells at her with hatred, he blamed her for being the one will cause a woman to be beaten; He didn't want to be that kind of man. However, what he lived with her caused him to bring out what he hated the most about himself from within. -Forget it love- said a woman who was next to her- it's not worth it- this dog was supposed to be her friend, she was supposed to support her just like she did; however he managed so that he and she hated each other and thus be able to steal it. The woman on the floor does not know how much she was framed and harmed by her naivety, nor did she know that this was the beginning of her misfortunes. Because of that woman she did not stop suffering, wherever she went she suffered verbal or physical abuse and everything was orchestrated by this woman; she didn't know until she was about to faint. "Why?" She asked this unarmed woman without knowing why she hated him so much. She never did anything to hurt him. She just laughed viciously without answering him, she didn't have to waste her time with an insect; leaving La to die imprisoned in the house where she was kidnapped. "Answer me!" She got up from her bed screaming "Eh? This looks like my room; Did I reincarnate myself in the past?" She ran to the bathroom just to see that her assumption was correct. She thanked the heavens for this second chance by promising that she wouldn't be fooled a second time.

18+Explicit sexual scenes. Very graphic scenes of murder, rape, and drug use. Read at your own discretion. Scarlett Daniels grew up in the system after her parents died from a drug overdose when she was ten years old. Once she turned 18 years old, she ran from the state as fast as she could and started living her own life. Except it wasn't a grand life as she had once dreamed of. Her life now consisted of dancing on poles, answering to a man who tried to own her and living with a best friend who ends up murdered in their apartment. Duke Harvey had a decent childhood; his parents were loaded and he had everything he ever wanted. Until he attended college and the only woman he thought he could trust stabbed him in the back and showed up after several weeks of silence, in a body bag. His entire picture on life changed then and he put his rich-boy shoes away and became a homicide detective. He wanted bad men like the one that hurt his only love to pay for their sins. When Scarlett and Duke meet for the first time, sparks fly and clothes come off. And one chance meeting turns into another until her friend ends up murdered and Duke becomes the lead detective. Now Duke must protect Scarlett from the bad guy while protecting her from himself at the same time. But an insatiable lust blossom's between the two that neither expected to happen. Not only does Duke want to save Scarlett from a wicked and toxic life, but he secretly wants to save himself in the process. Love wasn't a word he used in his vocabulary but something about this woman makes him second guess everything he's believed about love until this point. But one question sticks out in his mind over everything else: is he even capable of love?

Off-limits Series: Never Enough by den_of_lion

I always believe in the phrase that love is blind, everything that is forbidden is desirable, and when love comes knocking on your doorstep you lose all focus on your behavior. That's love. Your heart will not realize what the wrong, and correct person that could give away for. That's what happened to my heart when he was feeling hard for my brother-in-law. I know we can't be together. It's not my fault at first he's the one that play in fire, and I followed in. I'm pretty aware that he's off-limits but a bit of playing around couldn't hurt. That is what I thought at first by the time my hidden feelings that I have for him started to burn brightly inside me. Furthermore, I know he loves my sister so much, and he will never be able to divorce her because of me. Even so, these things didn't stop me from asking him to give me a one-night stand to lose my hymen for him after he took advantage of me. What do you think he's going to say? Will he accept my offer? Did my brother-in-law accept a one-night stand? or, he's going to ask me for more. Oh, and what about the secret that I put in my heart about my oldest sister a long time ago? Can I keep it in my heart after I fell in love with her husband? I don't own those answers for you now. If you want to know what going to happen, and the answers to those questions all you have to do is start reading my off-limit love story. Welcome to a journey where love knows no boundaries, but its consequences are as real as the beating of a wounded heart.
